Xi3 Piston ‘Steam Box’ Trailer surfaces, costs $1000

This may not be the actual Steam Box.

Valve’s Xi3 Piston console also called the Steam Box which is supposed to retail for $1000 has gotten a trailer and it looks pretty cool.

“Given the amount of awards, media attention and gamer interest the PISTON Console has generated since it was unveiled at CES 2013 in January, we’ve become seriously concerned that we will not be able to meet the demand for PISTON Consoles this year,” said Jason A. Sullivan, founder, president and CEO of Xi3 Corporation.

“That’s why we have decided to begin accepting pre-orders on our PISTON Console, beginning today with the start of the SXSW Gaming Expo. Gaming Expo attendees will also get the benefit of being the first to see the PISTON Console in action.”

This console is not the one that Valve has been developing along with Xi3, but it gives a good idea of how the Steam Box will be.
